What do we need to do to improve next season?

[Houghtoner]

Pretty simple really. Where do we need to improve? In terms of profile of player and style of play.

We won’t be the surprise package in August that we were last year.

 

[Randy Ostrich]

Choose 3 positions to upgrade on.
Replace Gerty.
Replace whoever gets sold to provide funds.
Evolution not revolution.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Depth (in central midfield particularly)
Attacking options, and creativity
Homegrown quota

 

[Hongkongphooey]

The squad to grow their hair
Er.......

Because we evolve but we don’t… revolve. *credit - Alan Partridge

I agree but atleast 1 of the positions needs to be a class winger

 

[Acidphire21]

improve out set pieces

we cant defender corners, its getting frustrating

 

[Gonk]

Priority position is the wings.

Need depth in central midfield as well.

 

[10 Gary Rowells]

We need someone who is comfortable playing the Xhaka role. We struggled when Granit was injured.

Good point

Invest in a cloning facility

 

[Lord Alfred]

A wide forward as opposed to a pure winger. Comfortable on the flank but capable of 10+ goals and 10+ assists.

 

[Whitburnmakem]

Too many players guaranteed a start because the squad outside the 11 is weak

 

[Binxy]

Better players.

This 100%, it must be done if we want to improve and get opposition players sent off for hair pulling, Rigg is already growing his as he is getting a hair perm just like betsy the tea lady

 

[craigypants]

Minimum five top players for at least 100 million. Plenty to move on including some fan favourites. Thanks for your hard work.

 

[ShieldsBlackCat2015]

Get Moses to be our new coach.

It’s going to take a mammoth Herculean effort to improve. And I don’t think another summer will improve us. It won’t be done in a single summer. We need several more summers of big improvements to be able to say we are as big and as good as clubs like West Ham United.

We need first of all 3 or 4 top notch strikers who are guaranteed to get goals every week. We need the same again in each of the other positions.

How can you replace Getty he never plays anyway which has me totally baffled mind

 

[Mboma]

A right winger of real good quality.

Someone who can really challenge Reinildo for that LB spot.

A No.10 with some pedigree.

A DCM to rotate with Xhaka.

At least one striker to replace Wilson, maybe 2 if Mayenda wants away too.

Add a few young lads with potential at CB as there doesn't seem to be anyone sticking out in the U23's

‘Struggled’…. We were utter dog5hit
Without Xhaka this season we were relegation fodder.
It’s not the lads fault but to replace Xhaka in MF with Hume is bewildering. He’s a willing runner and happy to put his foot in but that’s it.
Dont get me wrong Xhaka is a hard act to follow for any team but RLB and team dont seem to have any plan B. Maybe Ghisolfi has a name or 2 in his black book but we need to get our skates on asap.
I think we need a better CB to play alongside Alderete. After his 3 match suspension that will be 9 games out this season, and 5 games last season. 11 games in 2 seasons due to hamstring nack.
